Every time I want to set a picture as my desktop background it sets it so big that half of it is gone. I then have to go to the settings and choose desktop then choose a setting.
It is so annoying to have to go into settings every time I change a wallpaper!
Is there a way to set it so that whenever I right click and scroll to set a wallpaper, that it will automatically make it fit to screen?
You might need to select a new folder of pictures and then back to the pictures you prefer. Deleting one of the plist files not all of them can sometimes leave the preference pane in a state of confusion.
Step one is to get some change, then re-enable the automated change part.
Open ~/Library/Safari/.
It is there, called Safari Desktop Picture.jpg (or whatever the extension is).
If you're on Lion, to get to Library folder you may open Finder, select Go from the top menu and hold ⌥ Option. The normally hidden Library menu will reveal itself in the folder list. Open it, and proceed to Safari subfolder.
If you're not on Lion or just prefer the quick way, open Finder, press ⇧ Shift + ⌘ Cmd + G to open directory prompt and paste ~/Library/Safari/:

Go to system preferences, then "desktop & screen saver", then select the image. You should see a dropdown menu that allows you to "fit to screen."
